Arsenal They prepare a 'considerable offer' to sign Newcastle UnitedEditCenter forward Alexander Isak, according to Transfers.
After scoring 25 goals in all competitions last season, the 25-year-old became the subject of interest from some of Europe's top clubs, including the Gunners. Newcastle were reluctant to let their prolific striker go and there were reports of contract extension talks scheduled. However, there appears to have been little progress and the Gunners are keen to take advantage of the situation.
According TransfersArsenal are the “most interested” in signing Isak and could be willing to make a “considerable offer” to the Tyneside club to secure the signing of the Swedish international.
The Swede's technical and physical characteristics adapt to Arsenal's search for a specific profile to support Mikel Arteta's attack and become a key player for the club in the present and future, according to reports.
The former Borussia Dortmund player still has four years left on his contract at St. James Park and is valued at €75m (£62m) Transfer marketso Arsenal would have to pay a lot of money to reach an agreement.
Isak fits well with the Gunners
Everything indicates that landing a prolific goalscorer will increase Arsenal's title chances, as exemplified by City. champions league winning season after signing Erling Haaland.
Isak is capable of scoring at least 20 goals for the Gunners each season, which is significantly more than Arsenal's current centre-forward scores for the club.
The 25-year-old's game is not only shaped by goals, but he possessed different characteristics that can offer a variety of tactical options to Mikel Arteta if added.
His link-up play and aggressive pressing are typical of what Arteta demands of his attacking options. A good dribbler and great finish on both sides of his boots make him one of the most complete forwards in Europe.
Having joined the Magpies in the summer of 2022, Isak has gained significant experience in the first division and he is already accustomed to the complexity and intensity of the League, which should facilitate his adaptation to the team.
Arsenal will face Isak once again when they travel to St. James Park next weekend and will hope to rely on their makeshift centre-back pairing to limit the Newcastle danger.
